Known as "The Mouse" because of his diminutive size Guy Trottier was big wear it counted - on the score sheet. Trottier was a scoring star with the International Hockey League's Dayton Gems where he scored 46, 68 and 71 goals in consecutive seasons. The star winger then joined the American Hockey League's Buffalo Bisons in 1967 and soon found himself playing for the New York Rangers when his contract was purchased by the NHL club.

Trottier joined the Rangers for two games during the 1967-68 campaign and though he directed six shots on goal he was unable to bulge the twine. Back in the AHL, he led the league in goals, a feat he would repeat the next year.

In 1970 the Toronto Maple Leafs acquired the sniper and gave him his first real opportunity in the NHL. Trottier suited up for 61 games with the Leafs and responded with 19 goals. He his numbers slipped to just 9 goals the following year "The Mouse" ran out of chances.

With his NHL days behind him, Trottier joined the upstart World Hockey Association and spent the next two years there and parts of a third season before rejoining the club he enjoyed so much earlier success with, the Dayton Gems.

With the Gems Trottier fired home 12 goals in the last 20 games of the 1974-75 season but fizzled in the playoffs when he only managed 5 points in 13 post season matches.

Trottier's next season was last. He managed 36 goals in 56 games with the Buffalo Norsemen of the North American Hockey League then left the game for good.
